First International Conference on Computational Stochastic Mechanics, Corfu, Greece

该项目将于1991年秋季召开计算随机力学国际会议。会议的目标是将计算力学和随机过程这两个截然不同的领域结合在一起，并促进它们在不确定性和系统复杂性普遍存在的领域的应用。在地震工程中，许多问题都是由不确定的因素、不确定的函数或过于复杂的材料系统决定的，这些问题无法用传统的数学方法建模。随机过程理论与先进的计算方法相结合，为解决此类问题提供了一种有效的途径。这次会议将提供一个独特的机会，就应用于随机方法的计算方法的现状交流意见，并确定未来的研究需要。

This project convenes an international conference on computational stochastic mechanics in the fall of 1991. The goal of the conference is to bring together the two distinct fields of computational mechanics and stochastic processes and to facilitate their applications in areas where uncertainty and system complexity prevail. In earthquake engineering many problems are dominated by factors which are uncertain, functions which are non deterministic, or materials systems which are too complex to model by conventional mathematical means. Stochastic processes theories when combined with advanced computational methods offer an effective approach to the solutions of such problems. The conference will provide a unique opportunity for exchanging ideas on the current status of computational methods as applied to stochastic methods and for identifying future research needs.
